Barn owl Tyto alba on Sheppey

On a recent visit to sheppey I was shown this wonderful barn owl, which while hunting came fairly close. It was 9pm when it was out and cloud was starting to cover the low sun, so I had to soot at ISO1600, thankfully the high ISO performance it pretty good on my K-5 , and with a bit of noise reduction they came out pretty well, certainly my best pics of wild barn owl.
